Call for Papers
Thirteenth Annual
Loyola University Chicago History Graduate Student Conference
November 19, 2016
Loyola University Chicago Lake Shore Campus, Chicago, IL
Masters and doctoral graduate students in any field of historical study are invited to submit proposals to
present individual research papers at Loyola’s Thirteenth Annual History Graduate Student Conference.
Panel applications and individual papers focusing on borderlands or transnational studies, urban history,
gender history, and public history are especially encouraged. We also welcome papers about history projects
in the digital humanities. The goal of this conference is to provide an opportunity for students to gain
experience presenting original research projects and to receive feedback from their peers on their work.
Certificates will be awarded to the top three conference presentations.
Individual proposals should include: submitter’s name, contact information, institutional affiliation(s), a one
page abstract of the paper (with a title), and a sentence listing up to three historical subjects your paper
addresses (e.g. French history, sport history, gender). Please also include a brief biographical statement
indicating your academic status along with a return address and current email address. Panel proposals
should include the above as well as a brief description of the panel itself. Please note that submissions will be
accepted as time and space permit.
Deadline for submissions is Friday, September 2, 2016. Email proposals as an attachment to the HGSA
Conference Committee at: HGSA@luc.edu or mail to:
